Here you can find tips on how to save even more
energy when using the appliance, and how to dispose
of your appliance properly.
Saving energy
During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient
■
supply of air to enable the extractor hood to work
efficiently and with a low level of operating noise.
Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam
■
produced during cooking. Only use intensive mode
when required. The lower the fan speed, the less
energy is consumed.
If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select
■
a higher fan speed in good time. If the cooking
steam has already spread around the kitchen, the
extractor hood will need to be operated for longer.
Switch off the extractor hood if you no longer require
■
it.
Switch off the lighting if you no longer require it.
■
Clean and (if required) replace the filter at regular
■
intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of the
ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fire.
Put the lid on to reduce cooking steam and
■
condensation.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.

ÇOperating modes
E xhaust air mode
O p e r a t i n g m o d e s
The air which is drawn in is cleaned
by the grease filters and conveyed to
the exterior by a pipe system.
Note:
The air must not be discharged into a flue that is
used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas
or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only
discharge the air back into the room).
Before conveying the exhaust air into a non-
■
functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue, obtain the
consent of the heating engineer responsible.
If the exhaust air is conveyed through the outer wall,
■
a telescopic wall box should be used.
Air recirculation
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by
the grease filters and an activated
carbon filter, and is conveyed back into
the kitchen.
Note:
To bind odours in air recirculation mode, you
must install an activated carbon filter. The different
options for operating the appliance in air recirculation
mode can be found in the brochure. Alternatively, ask
your dealer. The required accessories are available
from specialist retailers, from customer service or from
the Online Shop.
